Abdominal paracentesis is typically done as an outpatient procedure, unless the complications from the fluid build up warrant hospitalization. The patient is usually awake during the procedure as anesthesia is not typically necessary.
The abdominal wall is punctured and fluid is removed. It is used to relieve the pressure of ascites, to diagnose infections or cancer, and to confirm free blood in the abdominal cavity. Abdominocentesis (abdomin = belly + centesis = puncture) is also known as paracentesis, peritoneocentesis and laparocentesis.
